🎯 Classification Logic
Core basis for classification: 1) Knitted or crocheted process (Chapter 61); 2) Women's garments (6104); 3) Suit (consisting of a jacket and trousers or skirt, same fabric, same style, same size, put up in a set for retail sale); 4) Synthetic fibres (such as polyester, nylon, etc.). It must also meet the definition of knitted garments in the Chapter 61 notes and the terms of heading 6104. 610419 Women's or girls' suits of other textile materials, knitted or crocheted: Material is not synthetic fibres, such as cotton, wool, silk, etc., classified under 610419, while synthetic fibres are classified under 610413. 610423 Women's or girls' ensembles of synthetic fibres, knitted or crocheted: Ensembles are casual daily sets, not suit style, and usually do not require the jacket and trousers to be of the same fabric and style. 620413 Women's or girls' suits of synthetic fibres, woven: Weaving method is woven, classified under Chapter 62, while knitted is under Chapter 61. 610311 Men's or boys' suits of wool, knitted or crocheted: Gender is men's, material is wool, classified under 610311, while women's synthetic fibres under 610413.
